Chapter 107 Chapter 24 Wrong Inference

I never knew that my parents had resigned before they disappeared, so when Director Zha talked about it, I was at a loss.Furthermore, when a younger sister suddenly ran out without any psychological preparation, I was a little hesitant when I was happy.I looked carefully at Chen Jing's face, she really looked like her mother, I always thought she looked like her mother when she smiled, so she was her mother's daughter!It turned out that the affection for Chen Jing in my heart was due to blood relationship. "Are you really not mistaken?" Xinhong also found it incredible that Chen Jing would be my sister.

"The same place, the same Chinese couple, the same birthmark, I don't think there is anything wrong. Besides, the old people of the Hongya tribe recalled their mother's appearance in Africa, saying that I am very similar to her, only children will Inherited looks?" Chen Jing stopped crying and gradually smiled. "Then I have to ask you, Xinhong," the old curator Zha said seriously, "You have lived with Jinwei for so long, you should know whether he has a birthmark on his back, right?" "Yes... there is a birthmark, there is a piece...but..." Xinhong said awkwardly, trying to calm down, "Mr. Cha, you should know it yourself, right?"

"I used to see that there was a red birthmark, just like what this girl described." Seeing Xinhong's affirmation, Mr. Zha loosened his brows.But why does Mr. Zha keep using the word "before"? It feels weird. Is it because he was bitten off by a fish and dragon now, so he keeps using "before"? "I really didn't expect your mother to have a daughter, and we can meet again after so long!" Xinhong's answer made me feel that he was avoiding the question of the birthmark, but I also felt that his answer was quite natural, maybe I was worrying too much .

Next, there was another boring conversation. In fact, I felt unnatural and wanted to ease the atmosphere.Before I knew that Chen Jing was my sister, I could argue and joke with her at will, but now that I know it, I feel very awkward. People are really strange animals.We feel that things are basically certain, and there are not many doubts, so we put this issue aside for the time being. I have never seen such a grand cave, even in the Tianshan Mountains, it was just a palace built, but it was not complicated.This natural and artificial cave is related to the broken stele seen in front of the cave. This labyrinth-like cave reminds me of the labyrinth of Crete.

The Labyrinth of Crete is a famous labyrinth in Greek mythology. It is said that there is a man-eating monster there, and no one can get out of the labyrinth. In 1900, British archaeologist Evans and others excavated the ruins of a royal palace in Crete.It covers an area of ​​about two hectares, and there are hundreds of houses, all connected by winding corridors. Double Axe Palace. In a hut in the royal palace, archaeologists discovered thousands of clay tablets with text inscribed on them, one of which reads "seven women from Athens, one boy and one young girl." It reminds people of the minotaur monster The story aroused people's speculation.Unexpectedly, in the spring of 1980, British archaeologists announced in Athens that more than 200 broken human bones were unearthed from a Bronze Age house on Crete. Boys up to the age of fifteen have the scars of being slaughtered on their bones.

The complexity of this labyrinth cave is several times stronger than that of the Cretan labyrinth, and it is also a three-dimensional labyrinth, while the Cretan labyrinth can only be regarded as a flat labyrinth.There is also a legend. The legend here is that the Tang Dynasty sent Hanyang King Li Shu of the Tang Dynasty as the governor of Yizhou. It is difficult to know how many lunatics he caught and what he did with them when he was in Yizhou.However, according to historical records, shortly after Li Shu, king of Hanyang in the Tang Dynasty, was appointed governor of Yizhou, he replaced another one. But before that one took office, the construction here had stopped, as described on the stone tablet.However, I think it's ridiculous to imprison a lunatic. If you really want to be imprisoned, why build the prison deep in the mountains? Even if you don't want to disturb the people, why make the prison a big maze?Is it because you want all the lunatics not to get out, so you do this, and then you don't need any troops to guard here?

The former residents here are Wuhu people who lived here in seclusion as early as the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps the construction of the maze was their painstaking efforts from generation to generation, as can be seen from the remains of chiseled teeth encountered earlier.However, can the Wuhu people build such a huge project? Just the pillar that traverses several floors of the underground cave will cost a lot of money. Do they have the money? At this time, Xinhong mustered up his courage and asked about his mother. He hadn't interrupted our conversation just now, and I had already forgotten about him. Thinking about it, I'm really sorry for Xinhong.

"Old curator Cha, is my mother really here?" Xinhong asked very confidently, and his words pulled me out of my thoughts.However, to be honest, I don't think there is much hope that a person can live in a cave for decades. No wonder he is so hopeless.However, mother and father were missing for a month in Africa in order to find the missing old curator Zha, and the old curator also disappeared for a month. They both survived, maybe there is a miracle. "Originally, I wanted to find some clues by myself first, and then I told you. I didn't expect young people to be young people, so I found them impulsively so soon!" Old curator Zha frowned with joy, probably because he found me Maybe he has been feeling guilty for his sister's sake.

"What about the clues?" Xinhong asked tentatively. "I've been wandering around here, and I've never had a clue." The old director Zha said seriously, "We found this place at that time, and it was also because of that era, when China finally got on the right track, and the whole country was saving cultural relics. We came to This place. Later, a treasure map was found near Gu Long!" "Treasure map!" Everyone repeated the old curator's words in amazement, and my thoughts gradually became clear. Maybe the Wuhu people really have the financial resources, that is, they have treasures and migrated from the place where their ancestors lived. They really brought with them the accumulated treasures of their ancestors.Therefore, the Tang Dynasty sent a secret army to advertise this place as a prison.

The ancient court often used this method to cover up some shady activities. When I saw the stele, I already guessed that the legend of the madman was a cover, and the truth might lie somewhere in the cave.Otherwise, how could it be possible for the feudal court to build a prison to imprison lunatics for thousands of miles, and it must be in a closed mountain.As for how the rulers of the Tang Dynasty knew about this place, that is a mystery. Perhaps the Wuhu people themselves leaked it, or the hunters who entered the mountain discovered it and then spread it to the ears of the court. "Well, at that time, the treasure map was already very old. The six of us were very excited. It took a long time to finally read a little clue, and then recklessly walked into the cave." The old curator said.

"And then?" I heard that things would be more attractive, so I couldn't help asking. "Then, a beast appeared here, which looked like a tiger but not like a tiger. We were forced to disperse," Mr. Zha continued. "I was alone, and the others were also scattered. Your mother was also alone. No one is with her. But...the treasure map is in her hands!" "Then what happened later, how did you come out later?" Xinhong asked anxiously. "When we came in, we already knew that the terrain here was complicated, so we sprinkled some fluorescent powder on the way in, and we all found our way back one after another. However, we only found out later that this cave actually has intermittent The flood, maybe the flood washed away the fluorescent powder, so your mother couldn’t find the return path.” The old curator Zha felt guilty again when he said this, “It’s all because I made a hasty decision at that time, and I should have caught your mother at that time.” "But, you just said that my mother took that map!" Xinhong tried his best to convince himself that his mother was still living in the cave. "I hope so too, and so does your father, but we have waited for a long time, but we still haven't seen your mother come out." said the old curator. "Then..." Xinhong wanted to continue asking, but found himself speechless. "There is something I really want to ask your mother too." The old curator Zha said suddenly. "What's the matter?" Xinhong asked curiously. "That is, this underwater searchlight that Jin Wei brought up!" Mr. Cha said slowly, "At that time, I asked her why she brought this thing in. She said that she was worried about diving in the cave, so she prepared first. Okay. At that time, I saw that she brought several bottles of chemical liquid, and I didn’t know what it was. I asked her, but she just said something perfunctory. I thought, this may be her privacy, so I didn’t ask in depth, but I always feel a little weird.” How many bottles of chemical liquid?There was a tremor in my heart, could it be the bottle I found?Did Aunt Lu accidentally leave one of the bottles there?The bottle of liquid is still in my arms, but I still don't know what the bottle contains.Why did Aunt Lu do this, and why did she hide things from the old curator? "At that time, the job of repairing the treasure map was handed over to Xiao Lu, who was Xinhong's mother," said the old curator and looked at the three of us. "Now, I think she may have missed it on purpose. In several places, we did not let us know the contents of the picture." "How is it possible, how could my mother be such a person, do you think she will monopolize the treasure?" Xinhong became excited for a moment. "Treasure? Is there any treasure here? Why is it completely different from what I heard?" Chen Jing, my sister said in confusion, she completely ignored Xinhong's excitement. "Then... what did you hear?" Old curator Zha smiled. He may not know that Chen Jing's background is not small, and there is the support of the ancient nation behind him. "This...before the Wuhu people lived here, another ethnic group lived here!" Chen Jing didn't want to say it at first, but she might feel that her brother was one of her own, so she took a deep breath and said it out. "Then you just said that there is nothing here, and you came here to find flowers?" I felt that Chen Jing was dishonest, so I blamed Chen Jing a little angrily, "Why are you always lying!" "I didn't lie to you, I didn't come here to find any treasure, and I didn't know there was a treasure here!" Chen Jing tried her best to argue, "I'm not greedy for money. I really came here to find flowers. If you don't believe me, I There is no way." "Where did you hear that?" Old curator Zha pretended not to notice the dispute of the younger generation, and continued his questioning. "Where did you hear it? It's the village where my mother gave birth to me. For a while, you can't understand, old man. Just trust me." Chen Jing's answer made me dumbfounded. However, her answer is also very normal. The history of the Hongya tribe has not been mentioned in the annals, and few people can understand it. He must have thought that we were deceiving him when he told the old curator Zha.What's more, since ancient times, the secrets of the royal family have never been recorded in the official history. If you want to find out, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky. Unless you have chance and luck, it is difficult to get a glimpse of the secrets of the royal family.Although Chen Jing didn't say which ethnic group lived here earlier than the Wuhu people, Xinhong and I should have guessed that that ethnic group is the Hongya ethnic group. It seems that the people of the Hongya ethnic group are everywhere. . Since they belong to the Hongya tribe again, is there still an ancient artifact here?No wonder Lin Yue came. It turned out that she was here for the ancient artifacts. I thought she was also interested in the treasures of the Wuhu people.What surprised me was that people from two ethnic groups lived together in the same cave. So many places overlapped, so it’s no wonder that the cave is full of weirdness.The construction of the large pillars, which family's masterpiece could it be?Speaking of the big pillar, I thought of Sister Yu. She just climbed up and never came down. I don't know where the top of the big pillar leads. But don't have any monsters, I can't bear to be scared.The red beast shouldn't hurt anyone. When it ran into the pillar just now, it probably went up, and it couldn't possibly go into the water.If this is the case, then there is nothing to worry about Sister Yu. I believe that the red beast will take care of Sister Yu. I still like the red beast in my heart. When I think of Sister Yu, I think of it. At that time, she came in with the old curator Zha. I really don’t understand why they brought Sister Yu in. What can a little girl do? They lead the way.So, without waiting for Chen Jing and Xinhong to talk, I asked: "Mr. Cha, six of you came in at that time, you, my parents, and Xinhong's parents. Is there a local named Xiaoyu?" girl? Why did you bring her in too?" "What girl, what Xiaoyu?" The old curator Zha looked blank, as if he had no impression of Sister Yu at all. "Just a little girl from the village outside, but she's grown up now," I explained. "No. At that time, we didn't bring any people from the village into the cave." The old curator Zha vetoed the inference I always thought was correct. I was dumbfounded when I heard Mr. Zha's answer. Could it be that the sixth person at that time wasn't Sister Yu at all?
